Abstract

In an optical lens used for a passing light having the maximum intensity on a wavelength (lambdaT) of 780±10 nm, an optical is made such that a reflection preventing coating is provided on both or at least one of a light-incident surface (S1) and a light-outgoing surface (S2) and the following conditional formula is satisfied: R2(lambdaR)>R1(lambdaR), where R1(lambdaR) and R2(lambdaR) are a reflectance of said respective surfaces for light having a wavelength (lambdaR) falling within a range from 500 to 700 nm.

       1. In an optical lens used for a passing light having the maximum intensity on a wavelength (λ T ) of 780±10 nm, a reflection preventing coating is provided on both or at least one of a light-incident surface (S 1 ) and a light-outgoing surface (S 2 ) and the following conditional formula is satisfied: 
       
         
             R   2 (λ R )> R   1 (λ R ),  
         
       
       where R 1 (λ R ) and R 2 (λ R ) are a reflectance of said respective surfaces for light having a wavelength (λ R ) falling within a range from 500 to 700 nm. 
     
     
       2. In an optical lens used for a passing light having the maximum intensity on a wavelength (λ T ) within a range of 600 to 700 nm, a reflection preventing coating is provided on both or at least one of a light-incident surface (S 1 ) and a light-outgoing surface (S 2 ) and the following inequality is satisfied: 
       
         
             R   2 (λ R )> R   1 (λ R ),  
         
       
       where R 1 (λ R ) and R 2 (λ R ) are a reflectance of said respective surfaces for light having a wavelength (λ R ) falling within a range from 750 to 850 nm. 
     
     
       3. In an optical lens used for a passing light having the maximum intensity on a wavelength (λ T ) within a range of 350 to 500 nm, a reflection preventing coating is provided on both or at least one of a light-incident surface (S 1 ) and a light-outgoing surface (S 2 ) and the following inequality is satisfied: 
       
         
             R   2 (λ R )> R   1 (λ R ),
